OK Google not working - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anybody has a fix around this. It was working before I updated my rom and used bpears latest gapps but didn't need to reflash gapps since they are set up not to flash again. Thanks in advance.

I'm using @Rycon33 latest

All fine here mate. I just did a voice search at any screen and all fine.
But then again, I always do a semi-dirty flash wherein I wipe /system so G-apps are always re-flashed. I'm using Bank's G-apps btw.

Do I need to re-install GAPPS every time I dirty flash?

So I dirty flash upgraded LiquidSmooth to the latest. I noticed everything went well, I wiped cache/dalvik and booted up. My google contacts were gone along with my whole account. I re-flashed and installed gapps afterwards. Did I do something wrong? Or is this the process usually?

Are your. Apps like play store still there? If they are then just re add google account or just reflashed gapps, better safe then sorry
I've never used that ROM, but the general answer to your question is no. Only flash gapps when starting from nothing.

It was weird. I booted up without a google account. No google apps or anything. So I just reflashed Gapps. I didn't have the option to add an account for Google.
That happened to me once or twice. No issues from flashing gapps though.

I've dirty flashed 3 different ROMs multiple times (usually wipe data), and each time gapps were still there. The only issue I've run into was an older market bug so I re-flashed the latest gapps.
All wrong answers, always re flash your gapps when flashing an aosp rom regardless if it's a new install or a dirty update. When dirty flashing your gapps should not be there anymore, if they are they are ghost remnants of the old build. Your data for your gapps will remain on a dirty flash so you need not worry about setting things up again.

This. Always reflash gapps after dirty flashing a rom.
I personally clean flash 99% of the time, it prevents so many problems.
check updater-script
maybe the ROM had a line of script to delete factory data...
Some ROMs have that line in their "updater-script" file...I remember flashing an ICS rom that did that..:/
If yes...then you will have to flash gapps again..Check the file(if possible) before dirty flashing the next time..:good:
But as a thumb-rule...always flash gapps after flashing AOSP/AOKP etc. ROMs..
Hope this helps..Don't forget to hit thanks!
Is it OK to just flash the new GApps without reflashing the ROM or doing anything else?
Edit: wrong post

[Q] Latest gapps not installing on latest cyanogenmod

I've been updating Cyanogenmod with the Nightlies. Since the March updates, I've not been able to install gapps, even with the newest version. I've Googled on this, and I've tried everything I could find. I've made sure I had the latest version of gapps, I've wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache, and I've mounted the system partition before installing the zip. I've even done a factory reset. At one point, I was so far gone with all the different things I was trying that I had to revert back to a stock setup.
When I install the gapps zip file in Clockworkmod, everything looks fine. No errors or anything. It goes through the install process, and it completes, but when I reboot, I have no Google Apps installed.
I have a 4g Xoom (Verizon).
The different CWM versions I've had this issue with have been:
cm-10.1-20130309-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130315-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
The latest gapps version I've been trying to install is:
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Thank you.
I have xoom wifi. the version of gapps I have is:
gapps-unified-jb-20130220-signed.zip
it should be somewhere in the portal as that's where I downloaded from. see it may work for you too.

Not sure if this is an option for you, but have you tried running gapps-jb-20130105-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip?

I did try this, just for the sake of trying something as I am having the same issues as the OP.
I flashed the latest nightly cm-10.1-20130330-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip on my Xoom and then tried the EOS version of GApps. It just bootlooped numerous times. I flashed the ROM, then flashed GApps. I cleared cache/data/dalvik with no luck, it just brought me back to recovery.
Any ideas? I know it is a nightly, so I am not too worried about it. I am just playing around.
You should try the new unified gapps for Cm, the link is listed in the OP of the cm 10.1 thread. Also, if you are using cwm recovery, try twrp. Your recovery could be causing issues

Thanks! I will give that a try when I get home. Went straight to the CyanogenMod site to get GApps so I missed that.
Well, I made a very simple mistake. I only read the directions partially, assuming everything would work like flashing my phone or Nexus 7. I wiped data, wiped dalvik, installed the ROM and then installed GApps. I booted my Xoom and of coarse, even with the unified version of GApps, it still did not work.
I repeated the process but did not install GApps. I let the device boot and then went back in to recovery. I flashed GApps and rebooted and it works perfectly. I did not try another version of GApps this time.
Lesson learned.

Download Google appstore zip file by itself.. After flashing gapps, flash the appstore by itself as well.. Worked for me
Latest Nightly issue Camera+Gallery
I'm using the 20130609 nightly in my Everest, but re-flashing the Unified Apps from CM 10.1 official thread doesn't work. On the 20130601 nightly it works like a charm!.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s: As an advice, I tried formatting system partition in CWM, reinstall nightly and gapps. All works fine now!

[Q] Katkiss 4.3 - AOSP keyboard has stopped after flashing

Help, I'm slowing going out of my mind. I've been trying to figure out the problem but no joy here so far.
I think I've successfully upgraded to KissKat 4.3 from EOS 118 . Everything loads, asks me to set up tablet etc but I keep getting the " AOSP keyboard has stopped" so I can't actually finish the set up or see if I've actually upgraded properly.
I use TWRP 2.5 version, all the Gapps and version 20 from the 1st page. I've reflashed and rebooted many times changed the keyboard settings but ended up the same message. I also get the google text to speech has stopped as well and I've disable that as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. :good:
I am pretty sure there is an issue with the GAPPS not being loaded properly. Boot to recovery, wipe cache & davilk, flash GAPPS then wipe caches again. It should boot fine.
If that does not work, try downloading the GAPPS from the first post again. Using any other GAPPS could cause issues.

Hi frederuco, I actually followed your guide but I'll try the gaps once more. If that doesn't work then I'll try ver 19.

LOL. I can tell you I've done that 4 different times with 4 different download all from the 1st page but it worked on this 4th and I'm not sure why.
Now to see tomorrow if this ROM lives up to all the troubles ( 3 hours worth ) and praise . Thanks for your guides by the way.
Glad it is sorted. I hope you find it worth your time.

Can't Get Any Gapps Working with CM12.1

I need to send my Nexus 6 in for a warranty replacement so I need to run my GS3 for a few days. It's been a while since I've used my GS3 so I wanted to get it all up-to-date first. I went and downloaded the latest nightly of CM12.1 and the "stock" TK Gapps.
I did a clean flash (factory reset, format system, flash ROM, flash Gapps) and when it boots up I get constant "______ has stopped" messages from all the google stuff. After I press "OK" as fast as I can for a minute I can get to the home screen, where I can see that all of the google app icons just show the little android guy (indicating it's not installed) and when I select any of them it tells me that the app is not installed.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik and that didn't work. I tried re-flashing from scratch and that didn't work. I tried the pico TK Gapps and that didn't work. I tried the stock and pico Open Gapps and that didn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but no matter what I try the result is always the same.
One time, just as a sanity check, I flashed just the ROM and no Gapps and that worked fine. Not sure what that tells me but just something to note.
Please help.
I was also forced to do a clean flash of CM 12.1 + gapps recently. This gapps file worked for me: highonandroid.com/download-android-5-1-lollipop-gapps/ (I can't post a link since I'm new).
One issue: apparently it requires flashing with a recent version of TWRP recovery. Doing it with CWN or a old TWRP will return an error. Hope this helps.

Which GAPPS should I use?

Hey
I used the slim zero gapps, but today I saw that there wont be more updates
If I'm using slim zero gapps
which should I use now?
Opengapps, but which ones?
And, how could I install it? flashing with TWRP as I used to do with slimzero or I need a clean installation of CM13 + gapps?
thank you

Try Banks Dynamic Gapps 6.0.x. That's what TSL recommends for their ROMs and it works really well for me. http://www.teamsuperluminal.org/download/banks-dynamic-gapps-6-0-x/
I 've read there that I need to wipe system, and data
so, it is a clean installation and I 'll need to install again all the apps
isnt it?
thank you
I don't think that there's any reason to do a full wipe if you install GAPPS. Just wipe Dalvik/ART Cache and Cache after you've installed GAPPs and you should be good to go (I think). That is, if you haven't installed any previous version of GAPPS. The first boot will probably take a few minutes, depending how many apps you have installed on your phone. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry!
